OK can someone break down why this Josh Hader guy kicks so much rear end? Does he throw 105 mph? A slider with 5 feet of break? Disappearing splitfinger? Is it his intimidating arm tattoos? Gimme the deets, TIA.

Can we all just agree to forget that Ichiro hung around for like five years as a sub-replacement-level player, and just induct him into the Hall in January? Or heck, tomorrow?

Verlander has re-established himself as an ace, no? He's right there in the top tier. Arenado and Machado are superstars by any reasonable definition.

Speaking of the Yankees and Red Sox, check this out: Giancarlo Stanton: .227/.313/.455 JD Martinez: .349/.396/.619

mcmagic posted:The Yankees just buzzsaw'd 3 of the best 5 teams in the AL with Stanton doing pretty much nothing. He'll start hitting at some point. Actually last year was a huge outlier, Stanton's back to his usual 25 HR/year self, and the Giants dodged a bullet when he rejected us. Also, those grapes hanging from that tree? They were sour anyway.

Yeah I just saw that about Harvey. In theory it doesn't seem that crazy to take on ~500k of his contract and stash him in the minors to work on poo poo. You never know. Only problem is he's a FA at the end of the season. He'd have to figure things out real quick to be useful.

Man that Harvey trade would be huge news if baseball players never got injured. Flamethrowing ace traded for star catcher with 30 HR power? Everybody would be going nuts.

Giants sweep the Braves, get swept by the Phils. Mission: .500 til Bumgarner gets back is still on track, except now its more like, play .500 ball til Bum, Cueto, Panik, and Mac are healthy...

Belt might be having the season that Giants fans have been daydreaming about since he came up. Don't get me wrong he's always been a good hitter, and he'd hit 30 HR every year in any other park, but if he's finally fully tapped into his power then watch out.

Ammat The Ankh posted:N: Giants win today and remain at .500 Bumgarner starts a rehab assignment next week. Panik is swinging a bat again. Mac has two dingers in two rehab games, should rejoin the team on the road trip. Belt dingered again, is now hitting .313/.413/.594 If this team ever gets healthy it could be pretty good.

Julio Cruz posted:What's the record for 100-loss teams in the same division? Because the AL Central is looking pretty good for at least 3. Seems unlikely because teams play so many division games. The bad teams all get to play each other 20 times. Same reason you won't see multiple 100 game winners in the same division.

Giants start a tough road trip tonight. Two games in Houston against Cole and Verlander, then Chicago, then Colorado. Rockies offense is down this year but it's Coors Field. Bad things happen to Giants pitchers in that ballpark.

Cricket seems cool except for the part where they jog back and forth between two bases like 20 feet apart. That's kinda lame tbh.

Bumgarner struck out 8 of 12 batters in his first rehab start and is lobbying the team to let him make his next start in the majors. If so he'd start on Friday. We miss you, angry redneck man.

Der Meister posted:Struggling to understand how Acuña didn’t tear something on that injury. Wow. IIRC everyone thought Harper blew up his knee when he hyperextended it too. Maybe that type of injury can look worse than it really is. Every injury is different but Bryce missed 6 weeks with his.

Thom P. Tiers posted:99% of baseball players would have done exactly what Rizzo did. But I think the umps botched it. It sets up Rizzo for stupid beanballs now unfortunately. Baseball is horrible at managing player safety. I've seen plenty of forceout plays at the plate this year and I didn't see any takeout slides like that. Every other time the runner just slid to the plate like the rules say. There may have have been other dirty slides at home plate but I can't recall any.

As far as I can tell, Facebook gets one game a week, on Wednesday afternoon, but they haven't released a full schedule, so just check every week if your team drew the short straw. Giants already had one FB game so hopefully we've fulfilled our quota for awhile.
